1. A kit for isolating DNA comprising:
- (a) optionally instruction means for isolating substantially pure DNA from a biological sample;
(b) a DNA purifying composition;
(c) a DNA eluting reagent; and
(d) a solid support selected from a group consisting of glass fiber, nylon, polyester, polyethersulfone, polyolefin, polyvinylidene fluoride, and combinations thereof,wherein the DNA eluting reagent comprises;
(i) a buffer;
(ii) a base;
(iii) a chelating agent; and
(iv) water,wherein the chelating agent is present in an amount no greater than 0.1 mM based on the total volume of the DNA eluting reagent, the base is present in an amount between 5-8 mM, and the combined amount of buffer, base, and chelating agent is present in an amount no greater than 20 mM based on the total volume of the DNA eluting reagent.
